Ice Castles Constructed

Work is well underway on two ice-castles by students at J.W. Walker School in Fort Frances.

The students started construction this week and hope to finish by the end of February.

Grade 4 student Emma Cole says they're using old milk containers filled with water in its construction.

"First you pour water and then you put snow and you put a brick on," says Cole. Then you put on another and fill in the cracks with water and snow."

Students are asking the public to help out by donating their used containers to the school.
